Description

These simple and delicious oven roasted chickpeas come out perfectly crispy and packed with so much flavor. They are made with just canned chickpeas, oil, and seasoning and are a wonderful healthy snack that even the kids will love!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (15oz) cans low-sodium chickpeas – drained and rinsed well
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. Prep the chickpeas:  Drain and rinse the chickpeas then spread them out onto a dry kitchen towel and pat them dry with a paper towel.  Then transfer them to the baking sheet and spread them out. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to dry even more. 
  3. Season the chickpeas:  Combine the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Drizzle the olive oil over the chickpeas and toss them in the oil.  Sprinkle in the seasoning mix and toss to coat all of the chickpeas. 
  4. Roast:  Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast them for 25-30 minutes, tossing them and shaking the pan every 10 minutes to get all sides nice and golden brown. 
  5. Serve:  Once they are done cooking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot with a sprinkle of sea salt.  See the post for other serving suggestions. 

Equipment

Notes

  • Use low-sodium canned chickpeas so you can control the salt. 
  • Dry the chickpeas really well before combining them with the oil and seasoning. The MOST IMPORTANT STEP!
  • Toss the chickpeas while they cook so they all get nice and golden and crispy. 
  • Cooking times may vary so check the chickpeas as they cook so they don’t burn. 
  • Store leftovers in a container that is not airtight and keep them in a cool dry place. 
  • Reheat in the oven at 375°F on a baking sheet or in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes.
